The latest reiserfs patch on ftp.namesys.com causes compilation errors against test12 due to the task queue changes. Does this look correct?

[patch snipped]

It does at least compile with these changes, but I haven't yet tested it. Looking at run_task_queue, it would appear that the while() is now redundant, but could someone who knows confirm/deny this?

Chris Mason is working on this. In an earlier exchange on reiserfs-list:

I'll try to hack out a patch while I'm waiting, but the task struct changes are the least of our problems. �They've changed ll_rw_block to always set the end_io handler to the default one. �Since the journal code relies on being able to use its own end_io handler, this isn't good for us. �There is a new func we need to use instead, so I'm migrating over.

Thew new stuff should be faster, so I won't complain ;-)

Your patch will probably let journal.c get compiled, but it might be dangerous to use considering what Chris said.

I've just tried it and got filesystem corruption, so no, it doesn't work. I'll wait for someone else to provide a patch that works.
